From a high altitude, through the thin veil of clouds, one can see the deep blue ocean beneath the white clouds. In this perspective, the vast expanse of water resembles a curved mirror reflecting the beautiful expanse of the sky.

In the vast ocean, scattered with numerous lush and verdant islands, a rectangular island about twenty kilometers in diameter stood out particularly prominently beneath a sky shrouded in dark clouds.

This is a piece of land shaped like a somewhat irregular rhombus. In the very center of the island stands a straight, sharp peak, looking from afar like a sword thrust into this vast expanse of land.

The entire island is surrounded by sheer cliffs, with no flat sandy beaches.

The seawater at the foot of the cliff, with its surging waves, could often be heard crashing against the jagged rocks, emitting a furious roar.

This unique structure on the edge of the island means that this is a closed island where ships could never dock!

……

On the southern edge of the island, at the end of a long cliff, a young man of about fifteen sat alone on the very edge of a rock. He gazed out across the sea to the unknown horizon. There was longing in his eyes, but also an enigmatic sadness.

This is a face that is very out of place for someone this age, but he keeps it up without any pretense. It's the genuine flow of his heart...

The waves crashed against the cliffs, surging and splashing. The sea wind, biting and sharp, swept into Xiaonian's thin clothes, lifting his slightly tousled hair.

Xiao Nian is like a statue sitting quietly on a cliff, its small shadow facing the vast and surging ocean...

……

After an unknown amount of time, a voice as loud as a horn echoed from the depths of the island's jungle.

"Oh~~~~~~~~~"

When he heard the horn, a tinge of disgust crossed Nian's face, but he still slowly rose to his feet and walked towards the sound.

……

Niánzǐ was thin and slender, but he moved with great agility. In this complex island jungle, he moved with ease and soon reached a clearing in the forest.

The expanse was only about a hundred meters in diameter. The area within was enclosed by thick wooden walls made of logs, thirty meters high, forming a campsite resembling a village.

The campsite had only one gate, with four men in blue robes standing by it. They were all in their thirties or so and didn't stand out in any particular way.

But what's truly worth watching is the wolf-like creature with terrifying fangs standing beside those four men!

"Oh!! Oh!!!!!!!!! "

"Ugh!!!!!"

Four ferocious wolves saw the boy walk in and immediately bared their fangs, opening their long jaws wide to reveal their white teeth. They were ready to pounce on the small boy at any moment.

"Get in there already!! You're so slow, do you want to die? Humph. You wouldn't even be enough for my wolf pack to have a snack!" one man with messy hair snarled at Xiao Nian.

Xiao Nian dodged the few coyotes that always wanted to pounce on him, quickly walked into the camp.

Looking at the back of this little guy, that man with messy hair scoffed and spat, saying, "I wonder who brought this kid here. He looks so weak and frail; he won't last a day in our Nightmare Camp."

"It's Xia, sir. I heard..." Another red-haired man paused deliberately, then said in a deep voice,

He is already dead.

"They're already dead, humph. Look around you, all of these little things here are dead!" Gu Lei said carelessly.

You wouldn't understand this. This kid used to be a young master of some family, and I don't know what he offended someone for, but someone paid our Yaomo Palace to take him out.

"Xia the Elder is in charge of this task. After capturing this boy, he figured that since he was going to die anyway, it might as well be better for him to make a soul contract with Baiyan Mo and then throw him here, giving our Yanmo Island one more slave." The red-haired man said.

Speaking of the Baiyan Demon, the three men beside him all gasped for air. One of them whispered in a low voice:

"How could Xia Da Ren possibly have a Bai Yan Mo in his possession? And is that boy truly so special that he can withstand the Bai Yan Mo?"

"Impossible, that kid would have been sent to the Baiyan Demon Island if he had that ability. There's no way he'd be here."

“How could Lord Xia have a white nightmare demon, I don’t know. But I know that Lord Xia just held the mindset that this boy must die, and he used this boy for experiments. I believe it won’t be long before this boy is completely devoured by the white nightmare demon.” The red-haired man laughed, seeming completely unconcerned about the death of that year.

"Haha, so that's how it is. Good riddance, I always thought this kid was a pain. But speaking of which, Xia the Great seems to be quite formidable. To have a Bai Yin Mo like that in his possession... we've never even seen one before! Even other demon lords on the Nightmare Islands wouldn't have more than one or two Lan Yin Mos at their command." Gu Lei said.

“That’s a given… Oh, time’s almost up. I’d better shut the door. Tonight, we'll hear those screams again, hehe…” The red-haired man chuckled cruelly.

The other three also laughed in agreement, with a disdainful attitude towards life.

……

……

Nian Ming Chu Mu, sitting on the cliff, should have been a vibrant youth, but he was honed like a hidden cold blade.

Chu Mu's appearance on this island was indeed due to his being captured. And the reason he wasn't killed was entirely because of the so-called "Summer Lord" whom those people mentioned performed a devilish experiment on Chu Mu!

In fact, all the children on this island, except for those few deacons who just left, like Chu Mu, who are around ten years old, have been subjected to this devilish experiment – making a soul pact with the Nightmare Demon.

This world is a world of soul pets. People with talent can become soul pet masters.

A Soul Master can make a soul pact with a Soul Pet, allowing the Soul Pet to fight for them.

Soul pets and humans are in a master-servant relationship. Humans can command soul pets to do anything.

But on this nightmare demon island, things are different. This is a place completely cut off from the rest of the world.

Every so often, many young people like Chu Mu will be sent to this completely isolated world for sinister experiments that are beyond human comprehension.

Nightmare Demons, as they are called, are evil soul pets. Evil soul pets are a very special kind of soul pet. They can also make contracts with humans and fight for them.

But they possess a terrifying ability to devour their owner's soul!

The children imprisoned here are forced to make a soul pact with the Nightmare Demon on their first day.

>When a certain time comes, the nightmare demon that grows in the vessel will eat the host's soul as food. A human who has lost their soul means death!

And to avoid being devoured by this Nightmare Demon, the only way is to improve one's strength, making one's cultivation strong and one's soul powerful.

Or perhaps, to always be stronger than the Nightmare Demon is the only way to survive!!

……

……

This is the most brutal hell, children face not the guidance of their teachers, but a group of ferocious and cruel villains who are always ready to take their lives!

Here, the weak will soon be devoured by the evil soul pet Nightmare Demon. The strong will be relentlessly pursued by the Nightmare Demon, being chased...

This is like a nightmare you can never wake up from!!

……

……

Tonight, there is no moon. The sea wind whips the low clouds in the sky, driving them further out to sea.

Trees swayed wildly in the strong wind, their branches creaking and groaning like people in deep sorrow.

At the camp, on a vast expanse of open land, stood one hundred boys around ten years old, silhouetted against the howling wind. Their clothes were thin, their faces bearing a numb strength and determination, their eyes filled with a dazed yet wild glint.

One hundred people lined up in ten rows of ten, standing neatly.

Ten deacons, who served for ten years, were around them, leaning against the wooden paling fence.

These attendants stood motionless, their faces displaying only coldness and indifference. Their eyes were fixed on the one hundred youths, watching them constantly.

Three men dressed in deep robes stood near the wooden post gate, their expressions cold and unfeeling.

The imposing middle-aged man in the center strode forward a few steps, his cold eyes swept over the group of children, a cruel smile crept onto his face as he spoke:

"Today is the training for your abilities, you will have to face vicious soul pets by yourselves today."

"I can tell you that we're only going to keep fifty of you here for further training. That means half of you will die on this test today!"

"Haha, what a delightful kind of death! Only those tempered between life and death are worthy to enter our Nightmare Palace!"

After hearing these words from the middle-aged man, a hundred children's faces immediately showed panic, and they nervously watched the ten men around.

Of a hundred people, only fifty can survive, meaning each person's chance of survival is only fifty percent. How cruel this is!!

However, these villains would have shown no mercy to these children. As the middle-aged man's command was issued, the ten attendants standing beside the wooden fence immediately chanted a series of strange incantations.

Every time they took a sip, a strange, half-bright symbol would appear around them. The symbol, like words, imprinted a blue pattern on the ground. The pattern flickered with a dazzling array of lights...

"Woo hoo!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!"

"Awoo!!!!!!!!!!!! Awooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, a chilling howl pierced the air, followed by another and another. A wave of feral stench swept through the cramped encampment, lashing against the thin figures huddled within!

The snow-white claws sank into the mud, gray hair stood on end, fangs bared beyond malice, sharp and terrifying!

After summoning the ten attendants, the camp was suddenly filled with ten predators— Dire Wolves! These ferocious soul pets were known for their terrifyingly sharp fangs.

Seeing these ten ferocious wolves with bared fangs howling incessantly around them, the people's faces turned pale, and even several children were biting their lips, tears streaming down their cheeks.

Whether it's for soul pets or these defenseless children, the dire wolf is an extremely terrifying creature. For food, they will mercilessly attack any creature they can handle, until they kill it.

In most regions, a Soul Master wouldn't be able to handle a lone Sabretooth Wolf on their own without a Soul Beast, let alone these unarmed youngsters who hadn't learned any skills.
